Whether it’s elder care in the home, a chronic illness, a progressive condition, or loss and grief, LIHHS volunteers are trained to give assistance where it’s needed the most.
A year ago we were terrified of chickens. The governments of some southeast Asian countries ordered the extermination of millions of chickens to prevent the spread of the bird flu, the dreaded H5N1. This threat did not develop. It is still lurking about somewhere. Now the farm animal du jour to fear is not the chicken, but the pig. The swine flu has made big news. A fairly large number of cases have been reported in Mexico and in much smaller numbers in European countries and our country. So far the vast majority of deaths from the swine flu have been in Mexico. Truthfully it is not pigs that are the problem, but us. This virus, unlike the bird flu virus, has the ability to transmit from person to person. No pigs are needed. That is why the bird flu has not posed a real threat and why the swine flu may.
